Cavity variationsSite conditions often vary from plan and can result in variations of cavity width.

Support structure “not plumb”Fixing on to structures which may not be totally plumb is a common issue on-site.

Maintaining build quality on-siteThe lack of sufficient skilled labour can be a challenge when quality detailing is required.

MAXIMUM CAVITY WIDTH ADJUSTMENTTitan’s innovative bracket profile can accommodate typical on-site cavity variations. For example the MSB 100 bracket can be adjusted to cope with cavity widths from 85mm to 115mm.

For details of how to apply this rule please see page 14.

EASY ON-SITE “OFF PLUMB” ADJUSTMENT Our innovative Wedged Shim device enables the brackets to be secured true to the perpendicular even when the supporting structure is “off plumb”.

The Wedged shims provide a simple self-levelling action as the brackets are secured.

Each shim offers 1.5° alignment.

EASY ON-SITE INSTALLATION WITH OFF-SITE QUALITY Our unique Brick Slip Masonry Support Systems are produced off-site dramatically reducing the time taken on-site to create brick soffits and other brick detailing by up to 90%.

IG’s innovative patented design for brick adhesion creates a mechanical lock as the adhesive passes through the perforated steel carrier. Quality is enhanced by the offsite, factory production process.

Why use IG Masonry Support?Masonry Support Systems provide a solution to the movement of brickwork due to factors such as moisture, thermal fluctuation, loading, ground movement and structure settlement.

HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT JOINTSTo cope with vertical movement in a masonry facade a compressible horizontal joint must be introduced at the required levels.

The underside of the shelf angle should be set 2.5mm above the level of the compressible filler to allow for any settlement that may occur as a result of the vertical dead load imposed by the masonry and to accommodate expansion of the brickwork below.

The minimum expansion gap should be at least 12mm where there is a single story height of brickwork below the support system. The gap should be increased by 1mm for every additional metre in panel height.

Wall ties should support the panel no more than 300mm above and below the shelf angle.

STRESS FRACTURINGMasonry Support Systems provide a solution to issues such as stress fracturing and cracking to brickwork. Fracturing can occur as a result of excessive loading and expansion. Masonry Support Systems alleviate this problem.

FIXING TO STEEL - CORROSION RESISTANCEThe structural steel member must be designed to minimise deflections and accommodate the torsional forces created by eccentric loading from the brickwork.

IG Masonry Support Systems are manufactured from 304 austenitic stainless steel. Isolation-packing shims are installed between the IG Masonry Support bracket and the structural steel frame to prevent Bi-metalic corrosion.

Bi-metallic reaction is the corrosive effect which occurs when two dissimilar metals such as stainless steel and mild steel are in direct contact with each other in a damp environment.

IG Masonry Support Systems supply isolation-packing shims as standard.

Differential movement is typically caused by settlement in the building frame in the opposite direction to potential expansion of the brick outer leaf which may be caused by thermal fluctuations and moisture absorption.

DIFFERENTIAL MOVEMENT LIMITATION ON UNINTERRUPTED HEIGHTWhen the method of limiting the uninterrupted height is adopted in accordance with BS 5628 : Part 1, the outer leaf should be supported at intervals of not more than every third storey or every 9m, whichever is less. This method employs shelf angles and horizontal joints, which subsequently provides a means of vertical movement control. For buildings not exceeding four storeys or 12m in height, whichever is less, the outer leaf may be uninterrupted for its full height. However masonry support is often incorporated in many buildings of less than four storeys or 12m.

ADJUSTABILITYIG’s Titan System provides significant adjustability in all three planes to ensure that building tolerances can be accommodated and contact with reinforcing can be avoided when drilling holes.

ShimmingTo accommodate a small increase in cavity width, shims can be inserted between the support structure and the bracket. Shims are available in 2mm and 6mm thicknesses. 2mm shims are provided as standard. The collective number of shims should never exceed 3No. and the thickness of shims used should never exceed 12mm.

The Titan System can accommodate on-site variations to a specified cavity width. To the right are three examples of how the MSB-100 bracket specified for a 100mm cavity wall application can facilitate a variation in cavity width from 85mm to 115mm.

Unique maximum cavity width adjustment

Vertical adjustment Vertical adjustment is offered by means of a toothed Lock Washer. This Lock Washer is inserted into the serrated slot in the support bracket. The lock washer can be adjusted vertically to move the bracket higher or lower if required. The serrated area at the back of the bracket allows up to 22mm of adjustment in either direction on the vertical plane. The lock washer also offers fine adjustment by rotating it through 180 degrees; this is achieved by the offset hole in the lock washer.

Bracket 3is positioned towards the other end of the shelf, drawings can be provided upon request.

Site cuttingIG Titan System’s standard shelf angle can be cut on-site. Any cut or reduced length must still be supported by a minimum of 2 brackets. The minimum length that the shelf can be trimmed down to is 300mm with the minimum bracket spacing of 150mm. If the required space is less than 300mm then two shelves will have to be cut.
